Survival energy models for mortality prediction and future prospects

Abstract

Abstract The survival energy model (SEM) is a recently introduced novel approach to mortality prediction, which offers a cohort-wise distribution function of the time of death as the first hitting time of a “survival energy” diffusion process to zero. In this study, we propose a novel SEM that can serve as a suitable candidate in the family of prediction models. We also proposed a method to improve the prediction in an earlier work. We further examine the practical advantages of SEM over existing mortality models.
